    Quite a yummy breakfast! As a former Vallejoan, I can't believe I've never been here before! I had the two biscuits and gravy, and I was not expecting how big the plate would be. But they were the fluffiest biscuits, and the gravy was great. I also got a side of bacon (crispy!) and it came out perfect. What a nice morning!

    Fresh cornbread with honeybutter was delicious!

    Good Day Cafe is a crown jewel of a restaurant! My wife and I ventured here for our first breakfast experience and were highly impressed with everything from the moment we entered the café, we were greeted and seated immediately. We shared a breakfast and really enjoyed the crab omelet, it was huge and packed with fresh crabmeat! The three egg omelet was perfect for sharing! We ordered it with the amazingly delicious bacon fried rice and the fresh warm cornbread with honeybutter! We enjoyed outstanding service from the waitstaff and especially Seriana! She was a real pleasure serving us! The ambiance is warm and welcoming, very inviting! Thank you very much for a wonderful breakfast experience! We'll see you again soon!

    Hubby and I came here for a late breakfast and it was first time here since the new year. Wow they updated the interior and food presentation since the last time I was here. The place seems brighter and more open to be and I loved it. Even the bathroom was brighter as it was dark for me in the past. I got my fave the hash and eggs plate and it did not disappoint. The service here was great as always along with all the workers being friendly. Hubby got bacon and eggs and enjoyed his food too. The coffee was good and kept filled too. Glad to still be able to come back and enjoy.

    This is the best breakfast place ever! The food is amazing! I had thin and crispy pancakes with eggs and bacon. I'm stuffed - I just couldn't finish. My daughter had the sunrise omelet with bacon fried rice and cornbread. Just so scrumptious! I can't forget the hot cocoa! Our waitress Evelin was so efficient and sweet! We will be back with more family.

    This is a great spot for breakfast/lunch! My lady and I had a day off together and ended up here for breakfast! YES, I had a cheeseburger for breakfast and I have no regrets. I was very enthusiastic to eat it when it arrived that I burned my tongue but it was VERY flavorful. My lady ordered India's Chicken Pesto and it was a hit! Service was very pleasant. The crowd is very small town so I enjoyed that it wasn't crowded. There's something relaxing about the sounds of a cafe staff cooking and tending to their clients. We will be coming back for more.

    Patty melt cooked medium. Lots of fries. Really good dill pickle.
    John R.

    The food is always good here. Service is quick and friendly. Always locals enjoying a meal in a comfortable place. I had the patty melt with a boat load of fries. Really good!

    I really like this place. The food is good, and it's genuinely special to dine somewhere that has been in business for so long. There's a lot of charm here, and I can see why people enjoy it. That said, I'm giving this feedback in the spirit of helpfulness, not criticism. I think service in restaurants generally has shifted lately, and I would love to see this place stand out by bringing back more attentiveness and hospitality. Our waitress was very sweet, and I could tell she was a kind person. However, after our meal, our plates were never picked up. She dropped off the bill, came back for the card, returned the card, and walked by several times to help nearby customers, but our dirty plates stayed in front of us the entire time. We were sitting on the patio, enjoying a conversation while waiting for our vehicle to be repaired, and it would have made such a difference to have the table cleared and maybe a warm-up on the coffee. For people who enjoy coffee, especially those of us over 50, sitting and chatting after a meal is part of the dining experience. We're not necessarily trying to rush out the door just because the check has been paid. Hospitality doesn't end when the card is run. My friend purchased the meal and likely tipped around 20%, but honestly, I would have happily tipped extra if the plates had been cleared and the coffee had been refreshed. Small things like that really matter. They make customers feel cared for instead of forgotten. I'm not giving a lower rating to be harsh. I actually believe this waitress is capable of five-star service, and I believe this restaurant is too. I just hope management will continue training servers on the little timelines and details that make a meal feel truly hospitable: checking coffee, reading body language, clearing plates, and not leaving guests feeling kinda dumped after they've paid ( and even tipped well) This place has so much going for it. With just a little more attention to the guest experience, I think it could be even better. This definitely doesn't hold me back from dining here again however, I probably will politely speak up next time or not tip

    It was our first time here, we were here for a car show. This was one of the only places nearby to get breakfast. That being said, this place was packed, and there was a waiting list. After a 15-minute wait, we were seated in no time. This place was a lot bigger on the inside than I thought. They had 2 entrances/ exits, and through each room was a dining area. I believe there is possibly another room in the back and outdoor seating. Looking around you can tell this place has been here for a while, since 1998 I believe. The lady who helped us was super nice, and she took her time with us. We were a party of 14. She wasn't rushing us with how busy they were. Our food was out in no time, and you could taste the quality of the food. I thoroughly appreciated how delicious the food was, even with all the hustle and bustle of everything. My husband and I ordered: 1. Short stack of pancakes: You have the option to have it thin and crispy. We just had it the regular way. The pancakes were fluffy and buttery. The syrup was even piping hot. 2. Hearty country breakfast: They did not skimp on the gravy with the biscuits and gravy. I'm happy I decided to go with sausage patties. It was heaven in every bite. This place was amazing, and I definitely can't wait to come back soon. There are so many more items I want to try

    Chicken fried steak red potatoes and eggs over easy
    joey p.

    OK it's been along time since I had food from this restaurant. . My car was broken down this morning so I ordered via DoorDash . We both had the chicken fried steak with red potatoes and fried eggs . The food showed up warm and the eggs were cooked perfectly to order. The chicken fried steak and potatoes were both good and portions good size. The good news with the DoorDash discount and tipping the driver I paid 42 bucks. The bad news is had I went to the physical restaurant I would have ended up paying about 54 dollars for breakfast (without drinks) which is way too much. I wish you all well but the high menu costs are why I don't come here anymore

    Corn beef hash and eggs

    Listen up Vallejo, if you want the best breakfast, this is the place to be. we were seated, fantastic coffee was brought out almost as soon as we sat down. We ordered, and it got to the table incredibly fast. I look forward to coming back for that bread pudding

    Went on a Sunday afternoon with family. Such a homey local welcoming restaurant. Everything that we ordered was delicious! Portions were huge and we all had leftovers. Customer service was excellent!

    Pigs in a Blanket, Bottomless Cup Coffee
    Elizabeth F.

    Very tasty! I asked for chocolate chips in the pigs in a blanket combo and they were very accommodating. Coffee was good too.

    Reuben and sweet potatoes fries.
    Jeff W.

    I had the Reuben samdwich with sweet potatoes fries. Fries were good. Sandwich was okay. It would have been better with Russian dressing. Without dressing it was on the dry side. We have been coming here for years and I am finally writing a review. Service is generally very good but this time not so much. I would give 3.5 stars but not 4. Lots of good breakfast and lunch dishes. Slightly overpriced, in my opinion. Still, a good local place.

    Is there outdoor seating on weekdays and weekends?

    Yes they have ample and covered outside service.

    Are there gluten-free options?

    Not sure. Sorry.

    Didn't the ownership change?? Still just as good?

    We went and tested it out and it was GREAT! Met the owner and he was so sweet and accommodating, and the staff (old and new) were sharp and upbeat. They have a new POS system that they are learning but it didn't impact our experience. Go out and… Read more

    I'm writing another review because I just can't say enough about how wonderful David and Kat and…read moreeveryone at Hopulent are. The food is always delicious with a rotating seasonal menu. The best fries I've ever had anywhere. Fantastic drinks including an amazing bloody mary. Indoor and outdoor seating and a beautiful multilevel patio area. And the cleanest, most pristine bathroom I have ever seen, that bathroom is spotless. Kat remembers our kids names, even between long stretches where we haven't come in for dinner in a minute. David and Kat promised our daughter they would make her a special Very Berry Mac and Cheese for her birthday. Something off menu, made to order just for our 5 year old, and just asked us to call the day before so they could be sure to have the berries. She felt so special and loved by these wonderful people who went out of their way to be kind to a neighborhood kid. AND Kat surprised us with mini berry cupcakes at the end of the meal. This is service you don't get anywhere else. AND the food is the best in Vallejo. If you haven't gone there yet, you are missing out on a true hidden gem.

We had the Ban Mi, spicy chicken sandwich, fish & chips & the Jalapeño & bacon mac n cheese. Mac n cheese was FAB! Chicken sando was two thumbs up. The other two were good but really not worth mentioning. Service by the lady who worked the register was great! The gal who brought out our food was meh. I guess we were really turned off when we asked for extra napkins and she said something to the effect of "if I have time, I'm really busy and there are other people I have to help!" Well, excuse us! She did come down with a very small handful of paper towels. Meh. If I were in the area again, I'd go back but it's probably not a place I'd need to visit again.

My favorite lunch order is the Chicken Caesar Wrap - perfect ratio of chicken, lettuce, cheese, dressing, and croutons. The wrap is always well constructed and never falls apart mid-consumption. When I moved away from Vallejo, I thought about this wrap often. For dinner, the wings are always a solid choice - korean bbq, bbq, buffalo - all equally good. The wings are a good size, an even mix of drums and flats, the chicken is always moist and the sauce ratio is perfect. Best wings in Solano County. The M.I.B.C. Burger is another favorite, always cooked as requested, the meat is super flavorful and the toppings - cheese, onion, sauce, and arugula fit perfectly between the brioche bun. This is also served with fries - always served the right amount of crisp. For beers, I prefer to drink the War Bond. However, I can vouch for the fact that all of the beer here is good. Also, all of the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Best neighborhood bartenders, best views of the sunset. We are lucky to have this spot in Vallejo.
